Welcome to the Church of Saint Mary Syderstone

Saint Mary's is the parish church for the communities of Syderstone, Barmer, Blenheim Park and Wicken Green Village. Click here for How to Find Us.
The church is open every day of the year during daylight hours and vistors are always welcome. We've recently erected large signs on the Docking Road to make the church easier to find.
A historic round tower church of Norman origins in its present form, people have been coming to worship, meet together, celebrate Christmas, Lent, Easter and Harvest, be married, unite at christenings, and pay respect to family and friends at funerals, for around thirty generations.

Syderstone Festival of Flowers Saturday 21 July - Wednesday 25 July

Time to plan your visit to the wonderful Syderstone Festival of Flowers in St Mary's Church.

This popular annual event will take place from Saturday 21 July  to Wednesday 25 July [a little earlier than in previous years] between 10am and 5pm daily.

As always, with the generous support of local sponsors and the skill of the Church's team of flower arrangers,  St Mary's will glow with the colour and the joy of the floral displays. Paintings, cards, plants and refreshments will be on sale to enhance the event.

Entry is free - we do hope you will be able to visit.

The Praise Service at 6.00 pm on Sunday 22 July will be followed by a 'Bring & Share' supper - a lovely way to celebrate the event.  You are very welcome!

Daily Bible Verse

  • Fri, 20 July
    Since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, to run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, who leads us in our faith and brings it to perfection. (Hebrews 12:1-2)
